https://www.thedailybeast.com/kremlin-used-nra-to-help-trump-in-2016-says-senate-intelligence-committeeThe Senate Judiciary Committee said Wednesday that the Russian government apparently used the National Rifle Association to help Donald Trumps presidential campaign in 2016.
Documents suggest the Kremlin used the NRA to offer the campaign a back channel to Moscowincluding a potential meeting between Trump and Vladimir Putinand might have secretly funded Trumps campaign, the committee said. One of the Russians named in the report even bragged she was part of the Trump campaigns communications with Russia, The Daily Beast reported last year.
The NRA spent a record $30 million on Trump and the FBI is reportedly investigating whether any of the money came from Russia. U.S. law prohibits foreign money to be spent on elections.

How convenient.
Can't charges be levied against the NRA and take some of their riches away? They seem to have an excess they don't know what to do with.
